About this Add-on

IMPORTANT: Uninstall the previous installation of XNote for Thunderbird 2 before you install this version. (Unfortunately, this version has to use a different unique ID as it was not possible to reach the original XNote developers.)

XNote allows you to create a note for each mail. Thus, you can add for example the phone number of that contact or when you have to contact the sender back.

XNote toolbar button: XNote comes with a button to add a note to a message. To enable this button, right click on the toolbar (the bar with the icons below the menu bar) and select "Customize...". Locate the "XNote" button and drag it onto your toolbar. Then select "Done" in the customization window.

XNote column: If you want to see the "Notes" column, you have to add it via a (left-)click on the rightmost icon in the column headers of the e-mail list (above the scrollbar).

See http://www.froihofer.net/xnote/ for version information, FAQs, and open issues - and please do not use the review functionality below (Mozilla add-ons page) for bug reports.

Kown major issues:

Notes window disappears if moved too quickly. This was introduced by some Thunderbird version < 35 and I assume it to be a bug in Thunderbird's dialog movement handling. If this happens, the note's position can be reset to the default location using the context menu in the message list. Moreover, notes that moved out of the screen will appear at the bottom right corner when the corresponding e-mail is re-selected.
